Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a disposable pull-on wearing article such as a disposable pull-on diaper or training pants.
  • disposable pull-on diapers are well known in the form of a disposable pull-on wearing article.
  • a front waist region and a rear waist region are joined together along transversely opposite side edges thereof and these side edges may be torn apart to take the diaper off from the wearer's body.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 1992-371147 discloses a disposable pant which can be used as the disposable pull-on diaper.
  • a front waist region and a rear waist region are joined together along transversely opposite side edges thereof by use of a heat-sealing means.
  • the front waist and rear waist regions are respectively provided with a plurality of thread-like elastic members extending in a transverse direction of these waist regions and attached in a stretched state thereto while the crotch region is provided with a plurality of thread-like elastic members attached in a stretched state thereto so as extend along the peripheral edges of the respective leg-holes.
  • a pull-on wearing article including panels which are elastically stretchable in the direction of the waist line and interposed between a front waist and rear waist regions.
  • PATENT DOCUMENT 2 National Publication of Translated Version No. 1996-507699 discloses a pull-on disposable diaper comprising an absorbent "chassis" and a pair of elastically stretchable “panels”. This diaper further comprises a waist-hole and a pair of leg-holes.
  • the "panels" which are elastically stretchable in the direction of the waist line are respectively provided in the vicinity of transversely opposite lateral regions of the wearer and attached to the "chassis" along predetermined joint lines.
  • the “chassis” covers the front and rear waist regions as well as the crotch region of the wearer while the “panels” are elastically stretchable and contractible to make the diaper fit the lateral regions of the wearer's waist.
  • the "panels” may be torn off from the “chassis” along the joint lines to take the diaper off from the wearer's body without the anxiety that the wearer' s body might be soiled with bodily discharges.
  • This diaper is further provided in the transversely middle zone on the rear waist region's outer surface with an adhesive tape tab used to secure the used diaper in a rolled up state for disposal.
  • Japanese Patent Publication No. 3421030 discloses a pull-on undergarment.
  • This undergarment comprises a front waist region, a rear waist region and a crotch region wherein the front and rear waist regions are connected together by nonwoven fabric strips adapted to be torn apart with the bare hands.
  • Each of these nonwoven fabric strips extends in a longitudinal direction from one of leg-holes to a waist-hole and may be torn apart in the longitudinal direction to take the undergarment off from the wearer's body.
  • each side edge of the front and rear waist regions comprises an inner sheet formed from a nonwoven fabric and an outer sheet formed from a lamination of a plastic film and a nonwoven fabric or the like.
  • each of the side edges of the pant would comprise four to six sheet material layers heat sealed together. An effort to tear these side edges joined together apart one from another to take the pant off from the wearer's body may sometimes peel the nonwoven fabric and the plastic film off from each other just along the joined zones and properly disconnect the front and rear waist regions from each other.
  • the waist surrounding elastic members and the leg-surrounding elastic members are attached in a stretched state to the pant, respectively, these elastic members may be peeled off from the nonwoven fabric and the plastic film and thereupon intensely contract just as the side edges of the pant are torn apart. These elastic members peeled off in this manner may painfully hit against the fingertips of the caregiver. Furthermore, the pant taken off from the wearer's body will be formed with a plurality of complicated gathers due to contraction of the waist-surrounding elastic members and the leg-surrounding elastic members and these complicated gathers will make it difficult to roll up or to fold the used pant for disposal in a manner such that the inner surface contaminated with bodily discharges might not be exposed.
  • the stretchable "panels” include thread-like elastic members attached in a stretched state thereto, these elastic members intensely contract just as these "panels” are removed, and may painfully hit against the fingertips of the caregiver. Furthermore, upon removal of the "panels" from the “chassis", the transversely opposite lateral portions of the diaper are opened and, even after the diaper has been rolled up in the longitudinal direction and fixed in this rolled up state, the lateral portions remain opened. As a result, bodily discharges and odor may leak through these lateral portions remaining opened.
  • the diaper disclosed in PATENT DOCUMENT 3 has no means for maintaining the used diaper in a rolled up state and it is likely that the soiled regions of the used diaper may be exposed and cause emission of odor.
  • a disposable pull-on wearing article having a vertical direction, a back-and-forth direction and a transverse direction being orthogonal one to another, the article comprising: an annular waist region having a front section and a rear section; a crotch region extending between the front and rear sections of the annular waist region; a waist hole; a pair of leg-holes; a first elastic member extending along a peripheral edge of the waist holes; second elastic members extending along peripheral edges of the pair of leg-holes; and tear-apart lines being capable of separating the front and rear sections of the annular waist region and extending from the waist hole to each of the leg-holes in the vertical direction.
  • At least one of the front and rear sections is provided with an elastic member extending along a waist line and a segment of the elastic member extending between the joint zones is attached in a stretched state thereto but remaining segments extending toward the ears beyond the joint zones are attached thereto not in a stretched state.
  • the waist region is provided in a vicinity of the transversely opposite lateral portions with a pair of sheet strips adapted to connect the transversely opposite lateral portions of the front section to the transversely opposite lateral portions of the rear section and to facilitate the formation of the tear-apart lines.
  • the sheet strips include none of elastic members extending in the direction of the waist line and therefore operation of tearing these sheet strips in the vertical direction is not affected by the presence of these elastic members.
  • the article while the article includes the elastic member extending in the direction of the waist line and attached in a stretched state thereto, this elastic member is not in stretched state in each pair of the ears releasably joined to each other. Therefore, it is unlikely that these ears might be easily peeled off from each other due to stretching and contraction of the elastic member.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a pull-on diaper 1
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II in Fig. 1
  • Fig. 3 is a partial view showing the pull-on diaper 1.
  • the diaper 1 is shown as partially cutaway.
  • the diaper 1 is composed of a liquid-pervious topsheet 2, a liquid-impervious backsheet 3 and a body fluid absorbent core 4 sandwiched between these two sheets 2, 3.
  • the diaper 1 further is configured to define a front waist region 6, a rear waist region 7 and a crotch region 8 destined to cover a front waist region, a rear waist region and a crotch region of the wearer.
  • both the topsheet 2 and the backsheet 3 extend outward beyond a peripheral edge of the core 4 and are joined to each other by hot melt adhesives (not shown) in the respective regions thereof extending outward beyond the peripheral edge of the core 4.
  • the front waist region 6 defines an upper end 6a and a pair of transversely opposite lateral portions 13 and the rear waist region 7 also defines an upper end 7a and a pair of transversely opposite lateral portions 14.
  • each pair of the lateral portions 13, 14 being circumferentially adjacent to each other in a direction of the waist line are connected to each other with interposition of a connector sheet strip 21.
  • the front and rear waist regions 6, 7 are annularly connected to each other whereupon the front and rear waist regions 6, 7 form a waist-hole 11 and, at the same time, cooperate with the crotch region 8 to form a pair of leg-holes 12.
  • the front and rear waist regions 6, 7 are provided with elastic members 16, 17 extending along front and rear waist lines, respectively, so as to extend along a peripheral edge of the waist-hole 11.
  • leg surrounding elastic members 18 extend in a stretched state along a peripheral edge of this leg-hole 12.
  • the diaper 1 has a vertical direction, a back-and-forth direction and a transverse direction designated by h, i and j, respectively, and a waist surrounding direction along which the peripheral edge of the waist-hole 11 extends.
  • Each of connector sheets 21 adapted to connect the front waist region 6 and the rear waist region 7 cooperating with each other to form the annular waist region is provided along the vicinity of its front side edge 22 and rear side edge 23 as viewed in the waist surrounding direction with joint zones 27, 28 extending in the vertical direction h (See Fig. 2 ) to be permanently joined to respective inner surfaces 13b, 14b of the lateral portions 13, 14 and further provided between these joint zones 27, 28 with an non-joint zone 24 to be left free from both the front waist region 6 and the rear waist region 7.
  • the non-joint zone 24 extends between the waist-hole 11 and the leg-hole 12 in the vertical direction h.
  • the connector sheet strip 21 has in the non-joint zone 24 a tensile strength and a tear strength which are measured in manners as illustrated in Figs. 5 through 7 .
  • the non-joint zone 24 in order to prevent the non-joint zone 24 from being easily broken even if the non-joint zone 24 is strained in the waist surrounding direction as the diaper is put on the wearer's body, the non-joint zone 24 preferably has the tensile strength of at least 8N/width of 25mm in the waist surrounding direction.
  • the non-joint zone 24 is adapted to be linearly torn in the vertical direction h from the waist-hole 11 to the leg-hole 12 when the diaper 1 is taken off from the wearer's body.
  • the non-joint zone 24 preferably has the tear strength of 0.1 to 12N in the vertical direction h.
  • the transversely opposite lateral portions 13 of the front waist region 6 have the ears 13a which extend from the respective joined zones 27 toward the rear waist region 7 as viewed in the waist surrounding direction while the transversely opposite lateral portions 14 of the rear waist region 7 have the ears 14a which extend from the respective joined zones 28 toward the front waist region 6 as viewed in the waist surrounding direction.
  • These ears 13a, 14a are laid outside the non-joint zones 24 and folded outwardly of the diaper 1 along respective folds 33, 34so that each pair of the ears 13a, 14a may be opposed to each other.
  • One of these ears 13a, 14a opposed to each other may be coated on the inner surface thereof with a pressure-sensitive adhesive 36 to bond these ears 13a, 14a together in a releasable manner.
  • the ears 13a are peeled off from the ears 14a as indicated by imaginary lines in Fig. 2 and thereby the connector sheets 21 are exposed outwardly of the diaper 1. Then, the connector sheets 21 are torn apart along the respective non-joint zones 24 in the vertical direction h.
  • the elastic members 16, 17 extending along the front and rear waist lines as well as the leg-surrounding elastic members 18 do not extend to the ears 13a, 14a beyond the joint zones 27, 28, it is not apprehended that contraction of these elastic members 16, 17, 18 might form gathers.
  • the ears 13a, 14a will be sufficiently flat to facilitate these ears 13a, 14a to be joined together by the adhesive 36 and to eliminate an anxiety that these ears 13a, 14a might be unintentionally peeled off from each other.
  • the intended purpose of the adhesive 36 is not to maintain the front and rear waist regions 6, 7 of the diaper 1 joined in the annular state but to bond the opposed ears 13a, 14a temporarily, i.e., in a releasable manner so that the surface of the adhesive 36 may be stained even during actual use of the diaper 1 and the diaper 1 soiled with bodily discharges may be rolled up for disposal thereof in a manner as will be described.
  • the non-joint zones 24 of the respective connector sheet strips 21 include none of the elastic members 16, 17 extending along the front and rear waist lines and the leg-surrounding elastic members 18 and therefore there is no anxiety that the presence of these elastic members 16, 17, 18 might make it difficult to tear apart the respective non-joint zones 24 in the vertical direction h.
  • the diaper 1 may be alternatively exploited, wherein the connector sheet strips 21 has a color distinguished from that of the ears 13a, 14a so that the non-joint zones 24 of the respective connector sheet strips 21 can be easily identified.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the diaper 1 which has been taken off from the wearer's body by tearing apart the connector sheet strips 21 and then rolled up from the front waist region 6 toward the rear waist region 7 with the topsheet 2 contaminated with bodily discharges lying on the inside. After has been rolled up in this manner, the ears 14a of the rear waist region 7 may be folded back and fixed to the backsheet 3 by the adhesive 36 to keep this rolled up diaper 1 effectively closed along the lateral portions thereof and thereby to prevent bodily discharges as well as odor from leaking beyond these lateral portions.
  • a stock material for the connector sheet strip 21 may be selected from the group, for example, consisting of a nonwoven fabric comprising component fibers made of thermoplastic synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polyester, a film made of such synthetic resin, a lamination sheet comprising the nonwoven fabric and the film as described just above.
  • a nonwoven fabric or film may be provided with one or more perforated lines extending in the vertical direction h so as to be easily torn apart.
  • the nonwoven fabric or the film may be used so that the specific direction may be conformity with the vertical direction h of the diaper 1 to ensure that the connector sheet strip 21 can be easily torn apart rectilinearly in the vertical direction h.
  • a stock material for the topsheet 2 may be selected from the group consisting of a nonwoven fabric made of thermoplastic synthetic resin fibers with a basis weight of 10 to 30g/m 2 and a porous film made of thermoplastic synthetic resin with a thickness of 10 to 30 ⁇ m.
  • a stock material for the backsheet 3 may be selected from the group, for example, consisting of a film made of thermoplastic synthetic resin with a thickness of 20 to 50 ⁇ m and a composite sheet comprising such film and nonwoven fabric made of thermoplastic synthetic resin fibers with a basis weight of 20 to 50g/m 2 which are intermittently joined to each other.
  • the body fluid absorbent core 4 may be formed from a mixture of fluff pulp and super-absorbent polymer particles wrapped with a sheet material such as a tissue paper or nonwoven fabric having high liquid-permeability and high liquid-diffusivity or fluff pulp wrapped with such sheet material.
  • the topsheet 2 and the backsheet 3 are joined together by the known adhesion or heat-sealing technique to form the composite sheet and/or this composite sheet includes the elastic members 16, 17 extending along the front and rear waist lines as well as the leg-surrounding elastic members 18. Therefore, the transversely opposite lateral portions 13, 14 have the tensile strength and the tear strength both higher than those of the connector sheet strips 21 and it is unlikely that these lateral portions 13, 14 might be torn easier than the connector sheet strips 21 when the diaper 1 is taken off from the wearer's body.
  • the lateral portions 13 and/or the lateral portions 14 may be formed from one of the topsheet 2 and the backsheet 3 so far as one of these topsheet and backsheet 3 has the tensile strength as well as the tear strength higher than those of the connector sheet strip 21. Furthermore, the lateral portions 13 and/or the lateral portions 14 may be formed from a third sheet provided separately of both the topsheet 2 and the backsheet 3 and having the tensile strength as well as the tear strength higher than the connector sheet strip 21.
  • the lateral portions 13, 14 are joined together by the known heat-sealing technique or adhesion along the respective joint zones 27, 28 with a sufficiently high peel strength to eliminate the possibility that the lateral portions 13, 14 might be peeled off from each other as the diaper 1 is put on or taken off from the wearer's body.
  • Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating a method for measurement of tensile strength presented by the sheet material used as the connector sheet strip 21 together with a test piece used for this measurement.
  • the test piece is made so as to have a longitudinal direction in conformity with the direction of the diaper's waist line and attached to the tensile tester with an inter-chuck distance of 50mm. This test piece is stretched at a stress rate of 200mm/min to determine a value of the ultimate load until a moment of breakage as the tensile strength.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 are diagrams respectively illustrating a test piece used for measurement of tear strength of the sheet material used as the connector sheet strip 21 and a method for this measurement.
  • the test piece is made so that a longitudinal direction of the test piece itself as well as a slit thereof may be in conformity with the vertical direction h of the diaper 1.
  • the test piece is attached to the tensile tester with clamp margins of approximately 25mm, respectively, so that an inter-chuck distance of 100mm may be left free.
  • the test piece is stretched at a stress rate of 200mm/min and a value of the maximum load resulting in breakage is determined as the tear strength.
  • the connector sheet strips 21 are provided in the vicinity of the transversely opposite lateral portions such that each of the connector sheet strips 21 is substantially bisected and the front half is provided on the front waist region 6 and the rear half is provided on the rear waist region 7.
  • positions at which the connector sheet strips 21 are provided are not specified.
  • the present invention makes it possible to produce the pull-on disposable wearing article adapted to be taken off from the wearer's body as the transversely opposite lateral portions of the waist region are easily torn apart and, after taken off, to be rolled up for disposal so as to prevent leak of bodily discharge and odor.
